Bøker av Athena Dean Holtz

Have you ever been in circumstances where you had to trust in God alone? Thirty-one women, your sisters, are here to encourage you in your circumstances with their stories of trusting God for their families, in loneliness or widowhood, for today and for the future, in loss and anxiety, in hard choices and times of abundance. In life. These thirty-one devotions will point you to the Faithful One, our God, in whom you can safely trust. Each devotion includes a purpose-filled statement, a thought to help you practice trusting, a prayer to direct your conversation with God, and most importantly, a promise from His Word.

Athena Dean Holtz now uses her growing multi-faceted platform to encourage and uplift others through sharing the faithfulness of God in her life and in the lives of others. This revised and updated edition includes many additional full-circle moments in the six years of restoration since the original edition was published, along with reflection questions for individual or small group study.    Brave, honest, raw. Full of wisdom forged in the fires of experience. Every reader will be enriched by Athena's open and revealing account of her journey into wholeness. -The late Jennifer Kennedy Dean, former executive director of The Praying Life Foundation
